from Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton · host Owen Staton

High upon the lonely slopes of Mynydd y Drum lies an old Welsh legend that has haunted the valleys for generations. It tells of hidden treasure, forbidden magic, a bargain struck in desperation… and a single candle whose slow, mysterious disappearance marked the passing of a man’s life.In this episode, Owen Staton retells the chilling tale of John Gethin and the Candle, one of Wales’ most unsettling folk legends. Journey into a world where ancient mountains guard terrible secrets, where courage is tested against supernatural terror, and where every bargain has its price.Then, as the fire crackles at the heart of the forest, Owen is joined by the wonderful Eleanor Greenwood—performer, writer, mask maker and storyteller. Together they explore folklore, performance, the power of masks, and the timeless magic of stories that refuse to be forgotten.You can discover more about Eleanor’s work here:🌿 https://www.eleanorgreenwood.co.ukEleanors Youtube channel is here https://www.youtube.com/@Eleanor_r_GreenwoodEleanor and Owen's Film - Morwyn llyn Y fan https://youtu.be/j4akhjGQ65Y?si=ARnYg0prduGFTKOZPodcast thumbnail features one of Eleanors masked performances as featured on her webpage .If you enjoy Time Between Times, please consider supporting the podcast and helping these stories continue to reach listeners around the world.🌙 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/owenstaton7🔥 Ko-fi: https://www.ko-fi.com/owenstaton🌲 Website: https://www.welshstoryteller.comThank you, as always, for joining me beside the fire.
